A couple of major european events about exploration (not in any particular order)

Leif Erikson finds Canada around 1000

Christopher Coloumbus finds Cuba in 1492 (never set foot in America)

John Cabot explores North America in 1497

Marco Polo travels to Asia from 1271 to 1295

Francis Drake discovers the Tierra del Fuego, the land south of the Magellan Strait taking place from 1577 to 1580

Hope this gives you some inspiration :)
